    If they never drop ANB, Aarts would never get a game with us. 

    We have to try out Laurie and Howes and I think Woey will be better than him anyway.

    Yeah couldn't think or a worse player in Arts to put on a list as depth. Remember this game clearly.

    Would have rather kept Baker

    I believe we will only consider delisted players to be put on the rookie list and I think we need ruck types and good tall project players since most midfield and small forward positions we have multiple players at this stage.

    Could do a lot better 

    Stark  even with baggage a far better  player and a match winner.

    Remember his hit ( tackle) on Vines on Anzac Eve 2019 !

    I think he's got something but it wouldn't be MFC as the team benefiting from his services.

    After something like that occurs, a player is haunted.

    Better still why don't we delist every player every and just enlist every player that is delisted by other clubs, I reckon that would satisfy picket fence.

    Before we try out anyone they have to earn it 

    Laurie, Howes and Woewodin haven’t yet ticked that box IMO

    If Laurie can improve his fitness he might get a look next year - he does have skill just not convinced he is currently an upgrade on anyone in the 1s

    Howes I’m not convinced will make it - I know he has plenty of people here that think he’s going to - very happy to be proved wrong 

    Woey is a good honest footballer - good enough to be a regular AFL player ? - next year will tell us a lot more I think

    Please expand on your opinion on Howes.

    He did ok in his first few Casey games before the stress fracture took him out for the majority of the season.

    What have you seen to write him off already?

    I’m not writing anyone off simply saying I’m not convinced he will make it as an AFL footballer 

    There are hundreds of guys that a good footballers but never quite reach the level required 

    Howes is neat in his ball handling and disposal but I he doesn’t get it enough at VFL level to suggest to me he can impact at AFL level

    Does he have any significant stand out qualities ? Pace , evasion, disposal , marking , physical presence? If he has they have been shown in cameos only hence - so I’m not convinced - as I said very happy to be proven wrong and we won’t know until the end of next season or the one after that (assuming he has no more injury concerns)

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?
